cultural Society, and one deeply inter
csted in It's welfare and prosperity, !
take the liberty OF addressing a few
words TO the committees OF arrange
ments for the approaching Lee-monu-
meut celebration. lnasmuch as there
is to be a general suspension OF busl-
ness on that occasion, October 9th, the
sane being the big day Of the fair.
when employer and employees alike
will desire to attend the cornerstone
laying and the fair, and the only day
that all can have holiday, it will readl-
" be seen how utterly impossible It
will be to accomplish both objects II
any unnecessary delay is made in laying
the corner stone. None are more anx'
ious than the farmers, many OF whom
fought under Lee, TO take part IN the
ceremonies in his honor but they can .
miss the big day ut the fair. Let the
line, then, form promptly and be on the
march by 10 o'clock. Then everybody
can see both shOtcs. The officers OF
the Agricultural Society report that the
indications are that the exhibition this
fall viii be unusually attractive. the en-
tries in all the departments being quite
full and complete and the prospects
bright for the best exhibition since the

"phc real cause OF their departure

Brown w.s formerly Mr.. Ggrileld's prl-

ualently poor prospects and NOT IL great

she would risk such % tup a. tbs

Young mans sult vas not looked upon
by the family fayoably, and at any

is off. Mrs. Garfcldrccently remarked
that the only thing that panied her IN

Years Age.

The New York World published yes
tcrday twelve-column confession 10y
Charles Francis Stair concerning the
murder of Cashier J. W. Barron, OF
the National Savings Bank, At Dexter
Ne, on February p, 1878, aud the
robbery of the bank.
The robbery and the death OF Bar
ron caused % great sensation at the
time, and the mystery attending the
matter has never been cleared up. Bar
rem Was found or the evening of that
holiday living bleeding and unconscious
IN the bank vault. The door OF the
vault was open. but the funds were un-
touched. and only S2o0 IN money AMI
$500 bond were missing from the cash
drawer. The story was started th1t
Barron had committed suicide to avoid
exposure Of some misconduct toward
the bank. This was never proved, bat
the family Of the dcadman have suffered
socially on account of the allegations.
The U0rh says that IA young man
named Charles Francis STAR has nov
uudc statement that he and his
father. David STAIR, with Oliver Smith
aIi1s Cromwell. avell-kuown criminal,
and four men named Andrews. Ihomp-
son. Scott, and hcclsy were the authors
Of the crime. They had procured I'M
prcssions OF all the locks in the build
ing where the bank waslocatcd andtook
advantage Of The holiday, when the
building seemed deserted, to gain en-
trance by false kcys On opening the
yault-room door DayidStair found him
self face to face with Barron, who had
been 10 the coal-closct and WAS return
ing with u scuttle in one hand and 6
shovel in another.
The yault-door was unlocked and the
cashier was apparently arranging to
count the fuudsaud verify his accounts.
stair ut once struck him several blows
with a slungshot, rendering him uncon-
scious, and Cromwell then came mp
and helped Stair gag aud bind thc
senscless man. The robbers did NO.
dare stay to ransack the vault. They
took key from FaTon's pocket,
